Reckoning

by Lou Iovino

"An irresistible science fiction page-turner that will have readers openly weeping in places and applauding in others. This narrative is a masterclass in storytelling. While no novel is flawless, this little sci-fi gem comes close." —BlueInk (starred review) on Inheritance

"A far-flung adventure through space and memory, filled with a pining, bitter nostalgia and a focus on how the past influences the future, the future influences the past." —The Black List on Inheritance

Darkside Station was supposed to be a fresh start, a place where Thea Watts could rebuild her life. She embraced its challenges, bore its scars, and found strength in its dangers. But a saboteur threatens everything, and when the culprit is revealed to be someone Thea once held close, the revelation strikes at her core. Every memory, every bond, feels like a lie.

As alliances shift and desperation fuels reckless choices, Thea must decide who to trust before the station—and the fragile future it represents—falls into ruin.
